We are home from today's doctor visit and can happily report that the Rituxan infusion went well. Doctor called it a "wimpy dose" and Terry objected to that adjective so she then referred to it as a "low dose". Either way, we are just glad that it went well. We'll go back Thursday for a bit more, and expect it to go well too. Having it go well seemed to make sense to us. We wondered if that was why we were not fighting against it. It was one of those times when the Lord just leads you through things and it turns out better than you think. We are grateful that it has turned out well.
WBC = 2.6 (L) Down from last week, but not critical.
RBC = 3.06 (L)
HCT = 33.3 (L) Down from last week, but not critical.
Neutrophils = 1.5 (L)
Platelets = 33. (L) Still low, but not critical. They are beginning to build back up, or at least for this week. They are up from 12 last week. Doctor made the lab repeat the test to make sure, and the second test proved to be the same. Yeah platelets! No platelets infusion was needed today.
